Triple R

What Triple R does

Triple R Inc., operating under the personal-brand name 'Just Ask Bob,' is a privately held residential home renovation contractor founded in 2003 by Bob Assadourian and based in Hamilton, Ontario. The firm delivers kitchen and bathroom renovations, flooring, drywall and painting, plumbing fixtures, electrical work (including panel upgrades and EV chargers), doors and windows installation, exterior siding, masonry (brick, block, stone, concrete, chimneys), and carpentry/trim across the Golden Horseshoe region — Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, and Grimsby. Service is structured as a design/build offering, with in-house permit drawing and project oversight from concept to completion.

Underlying capability is concentrated on owner-led execution rather than proprietary technology: Bob Assadourian personally meets customers, provides free no-obligation estimates, and oversees 95% of jobs from start to finish. The company does not sub-contract entire projects; only specialized licensed trades (electrical, gas) are sub-contracted under direct supervision. Differentiators cited include $2 million commercial liability insurance, WSIB coverage, comprehensive work-order contracts, and a 20+ year multi-channel media presence (TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, and the 'Just Ask Bob' digital brand on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn).

The business model is professional services on a project-by-project contract basis with pay-as-you-go billing via personal or certified cheque (no credit cards, no payment plans). Revenue is concentrated in a single segment — residential homeowners in the Golden Horseshoe — with customer acquisition driven by owner-led on-site estimates, traditional media presence, referrals, and digital/email touchpoints. The firm maintains no public showroom, operating instead from a P.O. Box and owner home office, supplemented by access to two partner kitchen showrooms and a partner cultured marble manufacturing facility. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external ownership have been disclosed; the firm remains a bootstrapped, owner-operated contractor.

Others

• HomeStars: Canadian home services marketplace where homeowners find and review local contractors. Comparable as a demand channel that routes Canadian homeowner renovation requests to contractors like Triple R, but does not perform contracting work itself.

Emerging players

• TaskRabbit: Digital platform that matches homeowners with local taskers for handyman, assembly, and minor home repair jobs. Comparable as an alternative channel for the smaller-scope jobs Triple R performs, but operates as a gig-economy marketplace rather than a licensed contractor.
• Angi (formerly Angie's List / Handy): Digital marketplace/platform that aggregates homeowner demand for home services and connects them to local pros. Comparable as a competitive channel for residential renovation leads, but operates as a lead-generation platform rather than a contractor — competing with Triple R for customer attention and acquisition.

Broad incumbents

• Handyman Connection: North American franchise providing residential handyman, maintenance, and renovation services. Comparable in service mix and homeowner target market, but operates via a franchised model with national reach rather than as a local owner-led operator.
• Lowe's Installation Services: Big-box retailer offering installation services for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and home improvements. Comparable to Triple R because it captures demand for the same residential renovation services, but at national scale through its installer network rather than owner-led delivery.
• Home Depot Installation Services: Big-box retailer that connects customers with installation and renovation service providers across flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Comparable in that it routes renovation demand to installers and competes for the same homeowner wallet share, though it operates at vastly greater scale and is not a direct contractor.
• Neighborly: Parent company of multiple home-service franchise brands (Mr. Handyman, Molly Maid, Mr. Electric, Mr. Rooter, etc.). Comparable in that its portfolio spans the same residential trades Triple R performs, but at franchise scale across North America rather than as a single owner-led operator.
• Mr. Handyman: Large North American franchise (owned by Neighborly) offering residential maintenance, repair, and improvement services. Comparable to Triple R in target customer (homeowners) and service mix (multi-trade handyman and renovation work), though it operates at significantly greater scale with standardized franchise systems.

Direct peers

• Renomark: Canadian network of screened renovation contractors. Comparable to Triple R because it operates in the same residential renovation category in Canada and represents a credentialed alternative for homeowners searching for vetted contractors.
• Refresh Renovations: Canadian home renovation franchise offering design-build services across kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. Comparable to Triple R because both serve residential customers with multi-trade project management under a single point of accountability, though Refresh operates via a franchise model with national reach.
